How to call javascript function in robot test case

Robot Framework
1

Hello, Good Morning!!
I wrote “Evaluate JavaScript window.function()” in my robot test case with browser library but it is throwing below error

“Error: locator.evaluate: Unexpected token “function(” while parsing css selector “window.function()”. Did you mean to CSS.escape it?
Call log:

  • waiting for window.function()”

However when I manually ran this function on my browser console, it worked as expected. ie. function()

Could you please help me, how can I call this function in my test case

Hi Shakti,

I suspect your problem is not having a selector, If I’m right, based on the Evaluate JavaScript docs, you could try either:

Evaluate JavaScript ${None} window.function()

or

Evaluate JavaScript function=window.function()

An implementation that I’ve been using for an angular solution:

${value) Evaluate Javascript ${None} () => window.getAllAngularTestabilities && window.getAllAngularTestabilities().every(t ->t.isStable())

Dave is right that the selector might be your problem. It’s a mandatory argument. But can be filled with ${None}.
